Well, what if you could toss most of that stuff and rely almost exclusively on your spice rack to cure what ails you?

It might sound old-fashioned. But back in the day, herbs and spices were our medicine.

In fact, many of today’s most common medications are based on synthetic versions of medicinal compounds that are already found in nature.

And I’ll be honest. I’d much rather cure myself with natural compounds than ones that are manmade.

In fact, one of my favorite natural remedies is turmeric, which contains a powerful anti-inflammatory compound called curcumin. It’s often called the “spice of life”. And for good reason! It has a very long history of medicinal use, dating back nearly 4000 years.

Some traditional uses of curcumin-rich turmeric include using it to treat arthritis, digestive complaints, liver disorders and inflammation. It also has antibiotic and antibacterial properties, and has a long history in wound-healing.

MD Exposes the Hidden Danger to Your Eyes

When your eyesight starts to fail, it's a real problem. Suddenly you can't go to the grocery store... you can't get to the doctor if you have an emergency... you can't meet your friends for dinner…

Your "regular" doctor doesn't have time to keep up with the latest research. And the same goes for eye doctors. They go to school to learn how to fit you for glasses and contacts, but have no way of preventing the damage and loss of eyesight that threatens your freedom and independence.

Let me show you something that explains a LOT about how your eyes work.

In my FREE Special Report, I'll show you a HUGE, untapped resource for your eyes that safely and naturally restores clear, effortless eyesight.

Well, today we know that many of these uses are well-founded. Taking curcumin daily (with black pepper, which helps improve absorption) can…

Shut down pain, stiffness and inflammation by blocking enzymes that produce pain.

Delay, and potentially prevent, memory loss by helping clear out the amyloid plaques that are common in Alzheimer’s disease.

Reduce diabetic complications and improve the overall function of beta cells, which are necessary for proper insulin function.

Improve blood pressure and arterial health, which lowers your risk of a major cardiovascular event

Offer great promise in the fight against cancer. Research suggests turmeric can suppress tumor initiation and reduce the spread of cancer to other parts of the body.

Boost your mood and reduce symptoms of depression.

Ginger for Gastrointestinal Distress, Migraines and Cancer

Ginger has been used since ancient times as a traditional remedy for gastrointestinal complaints. And it is still very well-known for its effect on almost any type of digestive issue – from heartburn to peptic ulcers and acid reflux.

Ginger’s stomach-soothing effects are so powerful that it can even offset the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy.

But the health effects of ginger don’t stop with your digestive tract. It’s also a powerful anti-inflammatory that can relieve pain, stiffness and muscle aches brought about due to arthritis or excess exercise.

It can even help decrease the severity of migraine headaches in just about two hours. All it takes is a quarter-teaspoon of ginger powder at the onset of the migraine. Better yet, it works just as quickly and efficiently as sumatriptan – without the side effects.

To top things off, ginger appears to be very effective in cutting the risk of gastric, pancreatic, liver and colon cancers. For example, in patients with a high risk of colon cancer, just 2 grams of ginger daily – about what you would find in a heaping teaspoon –for 28 days can reduce the spread of potential cancer cells… even kill them off.

It also helps suppress the spread of cells in other cancers, like those of the skin, ovaries, breast, prostate and brain.

Cinnamon for Your Blood Sugar, Heart and Memory

Next on the list is cinnamon, the winter spice that goes into some of my favorite holiday foods. Just 6 grams of this oriental spice (just under a tablespoon) can cut your blood sugar levels by almost third. It also slashes triglycerides and LDL by about the same.

The World's Quickest Solution for
Ending Prostate and Urinary Misery

This has recently been revealed to be one of the only real breakthroughs in prostate health.

The seeds of a strange fruit (sometimes called "Chinese Apples") hold powerful phytonutrients that are a revolution in prostate health.

In fact, UCLA and Veterans Administration research have now proved this to be true.

Not only that, but it may be the worlds quickest solution for ending prostate misery.

This is great news if you’re diabetic, pre-diabetic or suffering from metabolic syndrome. It means cinnamon can help protect you from diabetes-related cardiovascular risks. And since people with diabetes have a higher than average risk of having a heart attack, this gives cinnamon an important role in your life.

But the good news doesn’t stop there. The compounds in cinnamon may also help ward off Alzheimer’s disease. It could even alleviate existing Alzheimer’s symptoms.

That’s because cinnamon appears to block tau filaments, which are associated with Alzheimer’s. In fact, it’s even been shown to disassemble the filaments, thus reversing the cell damage.
You can easily get more of these spices in your daily meals. For example, you can add cinnamon to your yogurt, mix a little ginger into a vegetable smoothie and spice up your soups with turmeric and black pepper. (If for some reason you find these options distasteful, you can always purchase these spices in supplement form.)

But don’t stop there! These are only three of my favorite spices to promote health and longevity. However, they are by no means the only ones that provide health benefits. Parsley, cloves, thyme, basil, saffron, rosemary and even garlic all have a place on your spice rack.
